I bought the series 8 about 2 years ago, and already its battery life was too low for me, because I started to stress about when I should put it in the charger. [...] boy they are expensive! But I got lucky: I found a used Ultra 2 with 93 % battery health left. [...] Its battery life is so much better.
I have an Apple Watch 6 Bluetooth model that I bought 4 years ago. [...] When new it was lasting 2 days Ona single charge. Even today at 75% battery health and having worked out morning and night I still had 36 % battery charge at midnight. [...]
Just upgraded to a Series 10 from a 1st gen SE...After 5 years I appreciate the built-up incremental changes. What really impresses me is the charging - 0-90% in 28 minutes!

First new review for Good Housekeeping in 2025 – here's my verdict on the Apple Watch Series 10 after three months of use www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/product-r...
The hardware on my Apple Watch Series 10 is great, very thin and light watch with a beautiful display But even a year later I still find the software boring. Everything works but just very basic in my use
I have a Series 7 from 2021 & still not sure if this is worth an upgrade, considering this was a monumental version introducing a curved-edge display, a Keyboard with swipe, 1mm larger design, crack-resistant front crystal & Fast Charging for the first time with USB-C.
[...] Many people will never experience this, but an Apple Watch Series 10 effectively cannot track a marathon for most runners. [...] If you regularly do longer, lower-impact outdoor activities like cross-country cycling or hiking, none of the Apple Watches can really handle it (especially if Apple's future intention is that you'll also be able to rely on it for emergency satellite connectivity; with what battery life??) When Garmin says that they have a watch that can last 28 days, what that really means is "it could do like 50-80 hours of continuous activity tracking" or "you can easily record a 10 hour hike, and also not be worried that the watch will be dead if you need it for emergency satellite services". [...]
The G7 pairs directly with an Apple Watch and acts as the primary sync device. Unlike the G6, you don’t get null readings displaying on the watch until you open the app. I have the dexcom widget on my Apple Watch series 10 with a G7 paired with direct to watch and it always displays the current reading
I upgraded to an Apple Watch Series 10 yesterday from a Series 5. It’s soooo much nicer. It’s lighter, the screen looks better, the screen is larger.
As an eleven-year-old, I am quite fond of my iPhone 14 Pro and Apple Watch Series 10 46mm, which, by the way, is not the titanium version. Since my birthday is approaching in September, I am looking forward to potentially acquiring the new iPhone 17 🎉
I don’t think the trade off of having to charge it everyday to what you get is not worth the cost it’s annoying really annoying
Honestly shocked no one talks about how useless the Apple Watch is for serious fitness tracking. I paid £700 thinking I'd get accurate calorie tracking like Fitbit or Garmin, but Apple only shows "Move" calories unless you dig through menus. No proper total daily calorie burn, no clear data, and VO₂ max nags you just for walking normally. If you're serious about tracking intake vs output. This watch is a joke. It's a flashy ring-closing toy, not a real fitness tool. Reviewers need to stop praising this thing like it’s perfect. It’s built for casuals, not real users.
I’ve had mine for 2 weeks and I love this thing. Last one I had was the ultra. But I went for the 10 instead of ultra 2 because new ones are coming somewhat soon.
Watch os software is horrible. [...] Which every few days says I’m not doing screenshots today. [...]
Good Lord, if u need an apple watch to tell u ur surroundings are too loud and to warn u before ur ears might hurt or start to ring , I think u need common sense more than the watch. I own one but deliberately deleted that silly app off my watch.
[...] But what works great for me is the 80% battery charge in 30 minutes I believe it is. [...]
I was the idiot who upgraded from the series 9 (41mm) to the 10 (42mm) and I don’t regret it
Gf just upgraded me from the Series 2 to this watch. Very happy with the upgrade!! This thing rocks
That’s why I just upgraded from Apple Watch Series 9 45mm to Apple Watch Series 10 46mm, so that I can listen to my music on the go on my watch. [...]
1:13 I really like the "heavy" steel, it feels robust and luxurious. But I bought a Series 10 Titan anyway.
Yes but I cracked my glass sensor so I just bought series 11. Learn a lot and improve my sleep
I have both the Ultra 2 and the Series 10 42mm for the daily. For sleeping I put a wrist sweatband over my series 10 so I don’t notice it. My only gripe is that sleep mode wasn’t on by default so I missed several nights of sleep at first. Kinda dumb.
I recently upgraded to a 10 from a Series 3 for updated health monitoring. I miss my Series 3. It felt more comfortable to me.
